this week

Hello there! It's been a very busy but fun few days here. Lots of great company, good food and new places to visit. Here is my roundup of favourite images via my Instagram feed.

^ A new door number that we need to hang. At least that's the plan, I have a feeling it will take a bit of persuasion to convince the husband to get the drill out. He's not a big fan of the old DIY. I've been searching for a vintage French enamel door number for some time but just could never get lucky with a number five. At car boots and antique fairs I always came across lots of number fours or sevens for some reason. So in the end I bought this one. I think it will look really nice next to the dark grey door colour. (Basket is from Housekeeping Store, painting is vintage and from a carboot, painted vintage plate is from Lloyd Loves - just in case you want to know). I rather like it just propped up against the wall in the porch but that kind of defeats the purpose of having a front door number!

^ A visit to Judy's Vintage Fair in the Leeds Corn Exchange. Lots of lovely sellers although I didn't buy anything this time. Definitely worth a trip to one of the fairs if you have one near you in the next few months. I'm hoping to find a nice vintage dress for my cousin's wedding later in the year.

^ Tulips. I can't get enough of them. Last week it was hot pink, today I've bought some lilac ones. My favourite flowers of all time.

^ A meet up with some of my fellow Yorkshire Bloggers for a fantastic lunch in Belgrave Music Hall and Canteen. This is a great venue, totally laid back and family friendly. There were lots of kids in there and all were made completely welcome. Vintage furniture, squishy sofas, enamel lighting - my kind of pub. And what an amazing roof garden! Spectacular views of the city and little sheds with fairy lights to sit in on a chilly day. The pizza was great too.
